Apocalypse Now

Seeing this on the big screen again is always great. But having watched the “old” version 20+ times, the new scenes disrupt the flow. I’m sure it’s interesting for the filmmakers to add scenes, but for the audience, it’s disorienting. The thing is already baked. You can’t unbake a cake. Too, I noticed something I’ve never noticed before: both Willard and Kurtz talk about how much they hate lies – over everything else. Is this the quality they have in common? When Kurtz asks Willard to speak to his son, and tell him the truth about what happened, does he do it?
